Dubia roaches are illegal in Florida, sorry buddy.

i know but there are people here feeding there dragons thm and i guess ill have to find out how to

I recommend discoids instead. Those are legal in Florida and can be easily purchased without doing any shady under-the-table dealings. We're having enough trouble as reptile owners right now without people going out and blatantly disobeying the law.

Here's more information about legal/illegal feeders in Florida: http://www.freshfromflorida.com/pi/enpp/pdf/Guideline-for-Importing-Exotic-and-Non.pdf

Wendy Childs of Reptile Addictions in Washington state has a good deal on discoids right now. You can get 1000 nymphs-small discoids from her for only $65, which is very reasonable. With that much you can start your own colony and never have to buy feeders again if you learn how to care for them properly.
